If you said that as a white celeb....you'd be fired and labeled racist.

If your outrage is based on something that happened in 2011....well, that's a long time to hold a grudge against a stranger.
Meh, I love comedy. My ex is a comedian and if comedy wasn't so hard I would be too. Maybe you just take things too seriously. Maybe I don't take things seriously enough. Me and a friend use to always make jokes about Beyonce's sister. I am sure Solange couldn't care less about me if she even knew I existed. I still had fun goofing around and calling her Beyonce's B-side.

Now please tell me in what way Paula Deen is being racist. You can say this is offensive, but it is not racism. BTW, at best she is mocking a popular and culturally significant television show and it's famous symbolism. How is that any different from dozens of satirical sketches that happen every day in the name of "satire".
She wasn't being racist at all, but the media can make some advertising dollars if the portray her being racist. If they don't put that spin on it, they have no story. No story equals no money. When will people learn this formula? Seems like it is taking the general population forever to figure all this stuff out. The faster you don't believe the media the better!

What you call "liberal" is the rightwing news media stirring the racial pot once again with stupid racial stories that nobody cares about

She is an idiot, but this is no big deal.

If you knew her life story, and the things she has overcome, you would not say that. So how about you don't judge until you do.

So true.

Actually when you realize what she's had to persevere through,
she's inspirational in many ways.

The libs will grasp at anything these days to feed their Nazi agenda, though.......
